Best in the world
Generous, enthusiastic and knowledgeable chat for our rugby family - lots of fun without the fake controversy. Need a guest Scot though…
Great analysis and hilarious story telling from 2 of rugby’s iconic characters. It pains me as a welshman how funny entertaining I find these lads. Having read some reviews about the amounts of ads in the show… How do you expect these lads to create a financially sustainable show without adverts? and have you found the skip forward button? The incredible rugby insight and chemistry between Ben and Dan is first the couple seconds it takes to skip forward. Keep it up lads!
